I waffle back and forth with the possibility of making out house this style.. Sometimes I feel this eclectic is hectic, sometimes i feel it can work. hmmm.

New Windows!

We are seeing things a whole lot clearer over here at the House. The first of 8 new windows has just been installed and it is a BEAUTY! In other news We also have started to minimally landscape parts of

the front yard. Here is our vibe and a sneak peak of what we bought yesterday. 

We wanted to put grasses and succulent all through the front of the house to create a modern Venice like Beach House right smack in the San Fernando Valley.

Banquette

Some pretty pics... BTW we are doing something similar in our dining area. Can't wait.

Everything BUT the Kitchen Sink

Re-Model Update: So we have officially purchased everything BUT the kitchen sink and faucet{literally} for our new kitchen. I am torn between two options. Either a single basin or a double basin stainless steel undermount and either an industrial sprayer or something traditional to offset the modern materials I am using......hmmmm. Weigh in.

MY FAVORITE SO FAR!!!

Kiki Mail

Over at KM Inc we are working on the new website!!! Kiki has been researching high and low for inspiration and I have been getting tons of "Kiki Mail". She blows my mind with her amazing resources! I have seen these designers before but not for a while.....check them out!

I am thinking some DIY art!

This island was probably NOT CHEAP!

Thanks Kiki!!!!!

wine with a side of turkey please.

Thanksgiving can be summed up in one word for me this year. Alcohol..... Lots and lots of alcohol. Normally I take table setting and entertaining very seriously. Being that this year was my time to shine, and the turkey torch had been passed my way, you would have thought I would have stayed sober enough to at least light some candles, set the table and take some photos...Nope. Let me re-phrase this.. I got so drunk I made a speech to all my guests, congratulating my "fellow Americans on our win against the British." Thanksgiving was the celebration NOT the 4th of July. Now this may have been a "had to be there moment" or it may have been a "get this girl some water" moment. Either way it was an awkward experience for everyone involved including myself. Apparently I took these photos of my uncompleted table scape's and my sister snapped a few of me and G. I also took one at some point of the crowd chowing down. This particular blurry view basically became the way I was seeing my first turkey day go down.HA! if I wasn't laughing I would be crying :}

Enjoy

Don't worry I was sitting!

Scarf from H&M used as table cloth :$17.

New E-decor Project

So My BFF was in the market for a new couch. Being the interior obsessed gal I am, I nearly fell on the floor convulsing thinking I might miss the opportunity to be involved with her purchase. Sadly she lives a 1,000,002 miles away from me. All the way in Newport Beach which is approximately 1 hour and 23 minutes away from me in a car, 6 hours and 55 minutes on a bike, and 22 hours and 11 minutes if I walked. When I have driven there in the past {pre-G} it was sooo not a big deal, however I now have a little monkey still on a 2 nap a day schedule that also happens to loathe car rides over 20 minutes long. What should be a quick trip down south, might as well be a cross country road trip. I decided that the only way I was not gonna cry because I couldn't help my BFF out, was to turn her couch purchase into a whole house e-decor make-over. That's right, I have forced my services onto my poor friend and she now has no choice but to read my emails and buy everything I suggest to her. Thankfully she is cooperative and lets me rant and rave about all things interior design. She also reads my blog and lets me make design boards for her. What are BFF's for if not to entertain the fantasies of there mental friends?? She might be my number one fan when it comes to my design style...or she might just be a really really good friend.

Anyways, here is what we have come up with so far.... It's still a work in progress so stay tuned for the updates!!!

P.S. She is letting me do her bedroom.......I LOVE HER!!
